Maria’s most prominent supporter was Cora Slocomb,
an American woman who had married Count
Detalmo di Brazza and now
lived in Italy. She had followed the case from the beginning and
had
returned to America to help Maria. Countess di Brazza visited Maria in
prison and made
sure she had competent attorneys for her appeal.
